I gotta problem, just downloaded the new demo. I have had the previous uninstalled for sometime. Yet I am getting this error when trying to install the new version. Any clue on where to look for remnants. I have checked c:Program FilesMicrosoft GamesFSX or whatever, also Documents and Settings folder. Any ideas?http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/157468.jpg[/a][a href=http://library.avsim.net/search.php?CatID=root&SearchTerm=fritsche&Sort=Added&ScanMode=0&Go=Change+View]My paints...[/a][a href=http://www.airliners.net/search/photo.search?photographersearch=Danny%20Fritsche%20-%20Airplanespotters&distinct_entry=true]See me at Airliners.net...[/a][a href=http://www.airplanespotters.com]Also at airplanespotters.com...[/a]

Try deleting all files out of your local settingstemp folder it can be found in :documents and settingslocal settingstempAlso, I use a payware registry cleaner, which seems to help significantly for these types of problems.Jeff

Love the new Demo......looking forward to October SEVENTEENTH!

Strange. Same graphics card as me and mine are down two. Maybe it's a driver issue.

unresolved issue with the autogen impactThe issue with autogen impact is the number of polygons generated.Basically Sparse in FSX = Max Autogen in FS2004.Max Autogen in FSX is something 1000% increase in the polygons to be generated and textured - about like adding 250 AI aircraft.

It just seems a little strange Reggie. But, I'm not a rocket scientist on this stuff. In a DX10 world who generates all those polys, the CPU or the GPU? In other words, is there any "autogen relief" for the already over-burdened CPU with DX10? Doug

I'm not gonna lie, the higher I turned up my display settings, locked the slider at 30, I'm getting great FPS. I have a Core 2 Duo 6600 O/C a little, with a 7600GT 2 GIGs DDR RAM and a 250GB SATA. I have turned autogen all the way off, and my frames are pretty much staying at 30 with every once and a while a few dips into like 24. I think once DX10 and Vista are released, it's going to be just fine.Jeff

Jeff,Woukd you be kind enough to e-mail me your setting.cfg file please? My e-mail addy is [email protected] your settings and give it some name and it would be in your documents folders. If you want me to give you details of where it would be let me know.I have almost the same h/w as yours and I am getting 15 or less FPS.ThxManny

Just took a few flights and it is vastly improved. I locked my slider at 24 FPS and it never dipped below 21 at Princess Julianna with Scenery at full right and Autogen at normal. Had water at the default setting and terrain at 38m. If this is an indication of the release version I believe it will be a winner.

I'll say it is well improved. All sliders to the right including 2.x max water except terrain radius set to small. Max global, locked at 15, no autgen I'm not dipping at all below 15 except near the hills behind Juliana. I have checked bloom, advanced animations and the other one, traffic setting at High, very smooth and crisp view with literally no stuttering. Here's the kicker, this is on an AMD Athlon 3000+ running a hair under 2.2ghz with 1 gb of ram and a 6600 gt ultra. The water settings from 2.x low to 2.x max are stunning, especially where the sun glistens off the ocean. I didn't expect to see animated white caps but they really add to the ocean effect, well done MS.Now for the downside, as mentioned above, autogen. I have it off, but turning to sparse causes massive slowdown near the hills in Juliana, but most likely if I turn down the other settings this may relieve some of the stress though have yet to try, I've been too entranced by the water.Ian.

I'm very impressed. I have to be honest I got totally fed up with the choppy first release. The whole thing was so frustratingly slow I uninstalled it, especially as my Dell (P4 3.1, 2GB RAM, NVIDIA 6800 GT) is hardly a slouch.Was really not too bothered with rushing out to get FSX after all that, but gave this one a go and it was great. All the shimmering is gone, the frame rates are greatly improved and it all seems to work.The default models still aren't much cop, but I'm sure by the time the LDS and PMDG boys get their hands on it we'll be rocking.The best thing about FSX is finally they've invented clouds that look amazing yet don't kill your FPS. Good work, Aces. My credit card awaits.

I'm awaiting comment from those naysayers who said that the first demo was indicitave of the performance of the final product - or at least those who were adamant in their belief that the final was simply going to be a dog performer....-Greg

I think I'll pass on this one also. I tried the pre release demo, didn't really like it at all, unistalled it, and somehow now a two hour download with a cable modem doesn't appreal to me this afternoon.Perhaps later....Ed GreenKCLThttp://www.panelshop.com/Banners/DEV.jpg
